On April 4, Lilium (Munich, Germany), the developer of all-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, began the next phase of flight testing in Spain with its fifth-generation technology demonstrator for the composite Lilium Jet, dubbed Phoenix 2.
Over the coming months at the ATLAS Flight Test Center located in Jaén, Spain (Andalusia), Lilium plans to extend the flight envelope through full transition and high-speed flight. These developments come after successful flight testing with the same aircraft in southern Germany in 2021.
Lilium also plans to introduce an additional demonstrator aircraft, Phoenix 3, which is scheduled to arrive in Spain for first flight this summer 2022.

TESTING OF EUROPE'S EGNOS SATNAV DEPLOYMENT FOR EVTOL FLIGHTS BY EHANG'S EH216 AIRCRAFT
TESTING OF EUROPES EGNOS SATNAV DEPLOYMENT FOR EVTOL FLIGHTS BY EHANGS EH216...
In a project supported by the European Union, EHang will use their EH216 autonomous aerial vehicle to test the viability of eVTOL aircraft operations using the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS). As part of the Satellite Based Augmentation System Adoption in Multicopter VTOL Aircraft (SAMVA) program, the completely autonomous, all-electric aircraft will be utilized for flight experiments at Lleida-Alguaire Airport in Spain.
The purpose of EGNOS is to enhance the functionality of GNSS in Europe, including GPS and Galileo. The system, which reports on the dependability and quality of positioning data and offers modifications as needed, was created jointly by the European Space Agency and the air traffic control organization Eurocontrol to support GPS service. It will eventually fulfill the same job with Galileo, the European GNSS that is comparable to GPS
